A high-class renewal of this midsummer showpiece. The Ralph Beckett trained BLUESTOCKING (8) is an improving four-year-old. Looked better than ever in two starts this season and can complete a hat-trick by following up her success in the G1 Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh (1m4f). Enigmatic AUGUSTE RODIN (1) was tailed off in this race twelve months ago. Showed what he's truly capable of landing the G1 Prince Of Wales Stakes at Royal Ascot last time. Clearly the horse to beat if bringing similar form. Representing trainer Charlie Appleby the globetrotting REBEL'S ROMANCE (7) warrants respect returning to the UK following recent top-level wins at Meydan and Sha Tin. LUXEMBOURG (5) cannot be dismissed lightly after landing the G1 Coronation Cup at Epsom.
